Pakistan summons Indian High Commissioner for ceasefire violations

Pakistan on Friday summoned Indian High Commissioner TCA Raghavan and lodged a strong protest against ceasefire violations. Pakistan claimed that at least six civilians were killed by firing by Indian troops.

Pakistan Foreign Secretary summoned Raghavan to convey that ceasefire violations by the Indian side were not acceptable, sources told to Indian Express.

The High Commissioner was accompanied by his deputy J P Singh.

Pakistan military claimed at least six civilians were killed and 46 others, including 22 women, were injured in alleged firing from the Indian side in the Charwa Sector near the Sialkot Working Boundary. Three civilians were also killed in India by Pakistani troops on Friday.
